To all whom it mag concern Be it known that I, Jasmin A. YoUNes, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baldwin Harbor, Long Island, in the county of Nassau and State of New York, have in- ,vented new and useful Im rovernents in tract frolnthe bcaut Y and ornamentation of the holder; one which will be oi a relatively compact construction wherein it. is capable of lying in flat contact with the holder so as to not form an obstruction to the removal of the holder from the pocket oi the user; one wherein the effective ejecting end of the device is designed to always present itself for active engagement with the end of the cigarette on the insertion of the latter in the holder, and one which will be positive of action at all times.

With the above and otherobjcets in view which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood. the same con sists in the improved construction and novel. arrangements of parts which will hereinafter be fully described and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawing has been illustrated, a single and preferred form of the invention, it being however, understood that no limitations are necessarily made to the precise structural details therein exhibited, but that changes, alterations and modifications within the scope of the claim may be resorted to'when desired.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through a. portion of the holder showing the ejector in a normal position in full lines and inn distended position in dotted lines.

Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a perspective View of the ejector.

In carrying the invention into practice, use is made of a cigar or cigarette holder such as the one conventionally illustrated at 5 herein. At the outer end of the holder is a guide band 6 in which diametrically disposed grooves 7-7 are formed. This band is cemented or otherwise suitably secured to the holder and it is designed to form a stbp for a purpose to be hereinafter described.

The ejector proper consists of a band 8 which is slidable upon the holder 5 and with relation to the stop band 6. Extending from the band 8 are arms 9-9 which are provided with ofl sct ends 10-1O having extensions 11 formed thereon and arranged parallel with the arms 9-9 as shown in Figs. 2 and 4 of the drawing. The oil sets l0-10 extend across the walls of the holder 5 and the branches 11 are arranged in close sliding contact with the inner walls of the holder The branches 11 extend through that portion of the length of the holder which is necessary to permit of an effective purchase of the holder with the cigarette when the latter is applied as shown The branches ll of the arms 9-9 are provided with eti'ective ejecting lugs 12 which extend toward the center of the holder and which are therefore arranged in the direct path oi insertion of the cigarette. In this manner. the lugs are adapted to rest against the end of the cigarette when the latter is applied.

Movement of the ejector in one direction is limited by the nit-sets 10--10-( -oming in contact with the outer end of the holder 5. Movement in an opposite direction of the ejector is limited by the band 8 contacting! with the fixed band (3. When it is desired to eject a-cigarctte from the holder, the band 8 is grasped between the fingers of the hand and by moving the same in. a forward direction, the lugs 12 are forcibly brought against the ends of the cigarette and the sliding band and normally embracing the latter effectively and entirely released from Walls of the cigarette receiving opening and the holder. the outer legs of said member engaging the What is claimed as new is slots in the other band, and the inner legs 5 A cigarette holder having a band around engaging the inner Walls of the holder and 15 its outer end, said band having diametrically inwardly projecting lugs on the ends of arranged slots in its inner periphery, a secsaid inner legs and extending at right angles and band slidably engaging the outer part of thereto. 7 p the holder and normally spaced from the, In testimony whereof I ailix my signature. 10 first band, U-shaped members carried by saidv J OSHUA A.
